He had roast beef for his last mealHis brothers went to market and to homeHe was cut off from his familyBecause he wanted to find freedom on his ownHe saw his big chance for an escapeIn helicopter rotating bladesAnd said goodbye to the pigstyQuick as a guillotine he was gone

All his brother's jealous hearts were broken'Cause something was afoot there in that shoeBut they all stuck together'Cause there's nothing they could do

He went from right there in the middleTo smack dab in the center of attentionHe was picked up, he was cradledHe was given his own freezer bag to live inAnd for the first time in his long lifeHe felt the sunshine on every sideSo he set sail like a hangnailAnd waved back to the shore goodbye

His brothers always said it was so crowdedWell maybe now they'd finally have some spaceBut they were out of balance there without him in his place

So he came back from vacationOut of family obligationAnd rejoined with those four vandalsFor the sake of wearing sandals

Now we can't say he did not tryHe gave up all his chances to be freeBut once you've felt that kind of sunshineYou can't go back to the way you used to beSo when I look down and rememberSomething's missing in the middleMay it always be a symbolOne day that will be me
